How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

The above lists are not comprehensive but are to give an idea of the necessary features.

The Teams Client API should be able to be used inside the Microsoft Teams client canvas or from a standalone application. Ideally, the application developer could decide if they want to access the above functionality by controlling the Microsoft Teams application, with the Teams app running alongside, or as a standalone application, without the Microsoft Teams application running.

We see this as part of achieving Skype for Business parity so ISV's can write applications like Attendant Consoles so organizations can move to Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams should have completed Client APIs so that third party apps can be created to fill specific needs.

The feature team has declined this request due to the fact that a similar experience already exists.

You can achieve very similar functionality with the existing integration. The OneNote integration has been redesigned so that you can add an entire notebook as a channel tab, but always show a particular section (be it new or existing). Within each tab, you can also create other sections as well as pages within any section to better organize your notes.

Allow for explicit Connector configuration (not possible in MS Teams because of O365 Groups drawbacks in this area)

Currently if you don't set Connetors in O365 Groups via powershell command to disabled you would have it fully open in O365 Groups.

The MS Teams app suffers from this drawback because you cannot allow Connectors. On the MS Teams admin console it looks like one could control Connectors, but if you get the deeper dependency to O365 Groups and that the Setting there is "oversteering" MS Teams, you see all granularity is not helping you with Connectors.

On Enterprise Level this is a heavy drawback as it leads to no Connectors open for users in MS Teams.

Please make the "combination Teams / Groups" in regard to Connectors usable -- i.e. controllable for an Enterprise IT / Security that has to look after how data is flowing.

Being able to set recurring tasks on a month to month basis would be ideal. You can use a work around by creating meetings, but it would be more helpful to have tasks that your entire team can tick off, yet will recur.

I turned on Teams as my default IM option from Outlook, but when I select the "Reply all with IM" it only opens a Teams chat window with the sender, same as "Reply with IM". Another colleague confirmed the same behaviour. Is this a bug, or is there something else I need to do in my setup for this to work correctly?

The current ability to add folder from Google Drive works very well, with one exception: folder that are part of a Team Drive within Google Drive cannot be added (they simply don't show up in the list of folders to pick).

Being able to add a folder from a Team Drive would be very valuable to us as we start to use this feature more in Google Drive.

Late last week, OneNote on Teams stopped working whether you are using the desktop application or the web based. Creating a new OneNote tab on Teams, it still does not work as well. All we get for a message is:

"We can't access this notebook.

You might not have permissions to view it, but your IT Admin show be able to help you."

Previously, OneNote had been working. If OneNote is accessed directly with OneNote application, it will work fine.

This appears to be a bug on Teams as others are reporting the same issues as well. Could this be checked out and fixed?

Include a project timeline for channels, that includes milestones, tasks subtasks - the whole nine. Whoever is admin/assigned project manager should be able to assign tasks etc with reminders that sync to calendars (outlook etc) so that those people get automatic pop-ups and reminders about items coming due - and everyone can see the progress/assignees. When completed files/pieces of the project are complete, the upload button should include an option to choose a task from the timeline to check as complete, and the timeline updates - who completed, date, and the file. Milestones will update as "reached" or complete when all tasks and related subtasks are complete. Also - conversations should be possible to identify in the same way with hierarchies: Project, Milestone, Task, Subtask etc -archiving as appropriate when sections are complete.

XMind is a freeware mind mapping/concept mapping tool. Although there is already support for Mindjet (commercial), being able to work in XMind will help non-profit organisation like ours to brainstorm/cluster on remote or on site.

Having the Dashboard and Kanban Tabs is great. adding the Wiki Tab as well would make it full circle! :)
Adding it as is would be good already (with Markdown and preview pans) but to make it really go viral, adding it as a WYSYWIG editor, (just like Teams's) that generates the markdown behind would make it finally accessible to everyone. just markdown generation would be perfect. people can go add HTML if needed later on the portal
